5 days old and 1 week from 15 Months old

Hello again everyone, and Miriam says hello too! She's been exploring the big wide world the last few days. She's been from the hospital, to mom's office, off to church and bible study and of course spending lots of time at home. Most of her time is spent sleeping, otherwise she's likely eating, filling her tiny diapers or having another bout of the hiccups.

Her sleeping has been pretty good so far. She does spend most of the time sleeping as mentioned, but of course as soon as mom decides it's bed-time feeding goes into hyper-drive. So between about 9 and midnight she'll feed about 3 times before she finally will let us put her down in the play-pen to sleep. Once she gets really good at sleeping she can use her crib in her soon to be shared room with her sister, but for now she has a temporary spot in mommy & daddy's room. So once she's down she's been doing some pretty decent stretches of sleep, letting mom recover nicely.

One other thing that we've noticed is how much smaller she is right now than Naomi ever was. We had to invest in some smaller sleepers and onesies so she wasn't swimming in everything we put on her. But it's quite the adjustment now to go from nursing the little tiny baby to playing with Naomi as she climbs the stairs - she's made her big sister look so much bigger!!

Naomi has been being a great big sister. She has not appeared to be too jealous yet, not sure about sharing her receiving blankets though. She's been very curious about the new little addition that spends a lot of time on mommy's lap, only smacked her a couple times but not trying to hurt her, more exploring the new "toy". She has also definitely enjoyed having all the visitors around to play with her, she grabs their attention when they're not oogling over her new little sister.

Naomi has been learning lots of new things as well. From new words and expressions to exploring new things. She's learned more about "hello's", or cell phones as we call them, having fun with a couple fake/old ones of mommy & daddy's. Nanook and her have also become better friends, until she grabs her tail or foot. But enjoying chasing each other around.

Anyhow, that's all for now. Should probably go help deal with the two little ones instead of writing about them!

So Anna signing off to feed the littlest one while Grandpa gets ready to feed the older one and Gradma, Aunty Martha and daddy get some things done around the house.
